Drama

Freshly hired as a labor nurse in a chemical factory, Nour discovers that small arrangements exist between management and her father, Slimane, the staff representative, and the company's pivot. Lies about polluting discharges, hidden illnesses of employees, hidden accidents ... Nour, little by little, no longer accepts the compromises of his father to preserve the image of the company. She decides to launch the alert.

VIBE

A tense, grounded drama where a daughter's moral awakening clashes with her father's compromises. It's a slow-burn exposé of corporate malfeasance, building to a determined, somber climax. Feels like a stark warning about the human cost of industry.
